Title: Ransomware Reality Check: Busting Cybersecurity Myths

Date: Wednesday, July 16, 2025

Time: 2:00pm ET

Duration: 1 hour

Join us for an engaging and interactive webinar where we put ransomware myths to the test! This unique session combines the analytical approach to the most persistent discussions surrounding ransomware attacks and YOU decide whether they hold weight.

KnowBe4 cybersecurity experts, Javvad Malik and Erich Kron, will go head-to-head to debate the facts, presenting evidence, real-world case studies, and expert opinions on controversial ransomware topics. Should you:

Ever negotiate with ransomware groups?
Prioritize prevention or recovery?
Be required to disclose ransom payments?
Face legal consequences for making ransomware payments?
Hire former black hat actors as consultants?

But here's where it gets interesting: YOU get the deciding vote! After each debate, you will vote on which argument was most compelling and maybe even walk away from it thinking about ransomware in a new light. Plus earn CPE credit for attending!
